Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-05-14; Filing date (Form 4): 2026-05-18 (filed 4 days after the transaction).
• Transaction type/code: Award/Grant (A); Shares acquired: 1,246; Reported acquisition price: $0.00.
• Total dollar amount reported on the form: $0 (award recorded at no cash cost).
• Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the provided filing.

Context

• This was an equity award (common for director compensation). Awards at $0 acquisition price are typically restricted stock or similar compensation and do not represent an open-market purchase (so they are less of a direct bullish signal than an insider buying stock).
• The Form 4 was filed four days after the transaction date; Form 4s are normally due within two business days, so this filing may be later than the typical deadline.
